Hi all,
I am fitting oem heated grips to my K1 restoration (yes I know Oxford grips are better, but I want oem) and need to drill and tap the bars to lock the L/H grip in position. As I do not have the right bar end weights yet, my question is this - does the grip tube that has the heating wiring attached to it sit flush with the end of the bars or is it recessed? Want to get this part of the job done while I wait for bar ends to come up for sale. If anyone has any for sale though, could you let me know. Aussie or Kiwi members only please.
Thanks
